BRACKET.

Application filed March 19, 1927. Serial No. 176,799.

The present invention relates to a bracket for holding the rack bar in a window fixture assembly such as is shown in Letters Patent 1,560,402, issued November 3, 1925, to B. T.

Britt, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a bracket structure whlch enables the parts thereof to be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled, and also enables the rack bar of the window fixture 1 to be taken down quickly.

vention lies in the provision of a bracket of this nature, which is exceedingly simple 111 its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, and otherwise well adapted for the purpose for which it is designed. i I

With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combina tion and arrangement of partsas will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a front elevation of brackets embodying the features of 'my invention, showing the same in use. 7

Figure 2 is a sectional side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail horizontal section taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 2, and

Figure 4 is a plan view of a plate forming part of the bracket. I

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that in the present illustration I have shown two of the brackets, suppoit ing a rack bar 5 of a window fixture. Each bracket includes a plate 6 having screw reat tlIQ'GOlDGI'S thereof, and a screw receiving opening 8 at one end thereof. At the other end of the plate there is struck therefrom a lip 9, which extends outwardly and toward said ends. The intermediate portion of the plate is provided with openings 10, which may be used for attaching to the plate a pulley bracket 11, when used. A curved arm .12 has one end termi nating in an annularly disposed extension 13 adapted to engage with the lip 9. The longitudinal edges of thisarm are curved over upon itself as is clearly shown in Figure and adjacent the other end of the arm the curved over portions are spaced therefrom as is indicated specifically at 14', for receiving the end of the rack bar 5. A standard 15 is engaged in the opening 8 and projects perpendicularly from the plate 6 and receives inits ends a screw 16 which pierces an opening in the arm 12 and the adjacent end of the rack bar 5. This screw .16 holds the parts in assembly as will be A still further important object'ofthe inquite apparent. 7 By removing this screw, it will be seen that the arm 12 may be readily taken off, and by removing the screws at both ends of the bar, the rack bar may be easily disassembled along with both arms 12.

From the above detailed description, it is thought that the construction, utility, and advantages of this bracket structure will be quite apparent without a more detailed description thereof. y 7

Obviously changes in the details of construction and in the combination and ar rangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit or scope ofthe invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: r

1. A window fixture bracket of the class described comprising a plate, a. lip struck from the plate and projecting toward one, end thereof, a

post extending from the plate at the other end thereof perpendicularly to the plate, an arm having an offset end engageable with the lip and the other end adapted to engage the post, and a screw insertable through said other end of the arm and engageable in the post.

2. A window fixture of the class described comprising a pair ofbrackets and a rack bar,

each bracket comprising a plate having struck from the outer ends thereof lips, posts projecting from the other ends of the plates, arms having offset ends engageable with the lips, and the other ends shaped to receive the ends of the rack bar, and screws engaged through the ends of the rack bar and the adjacent ends of the arms and engaged in the posts.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
